Amanda James' small Prius drove down the long well worn state highway. She looked down at her open laptop in the seat next to her and the story she had finished just three days before. White Slave Ring Exposed was the headline she had chosen. Amanda had been undercover and worked her way into some pretty deep white slavery circles and even got to witness a female slave auction for her story. She had somehow managed to smuggle a list of high volume buyers off one of the computers at the auction site.
That was reason for this current trip, one of the bigger buyers was actually less than two hours drive away. His address was located a good distance from any authorities that might suspect something wrong. Amanda was still trying to formulate a plan in her mind on how to approach him. She had no idea who he was or what he did with the women he purchased.
Amanda's GPS indicated she was close and she pulled off the highway and onto a long gravel driveway. She drove up to the large farmhouse and opened her car door to step into the fresh country air. It was still summer and the warm sun felt good on her skin. Amanda had dressed quite casually wearing jean shorts, a t-shirt and tennis shoes with her dark brown hair back in a ponytail. Her small 5'2 frame stretched her arms up high to relieve the tightness the long car ride had produced. Her bright blue eyes peered toward the white farm house looking for life from inside.
She waited a few moments before deciding to take a look around. She could see in the near distance a large metal building or barn. "Perhaps that is where the owner is or the poor slaves he bought." She said walking headstrong in the barns direction.
She reached the barn and instead of opening the large door she decided to snoop around the corner to a window and get a peek inside. She stealthy peered her head over the corner of the glass pane to see inside. Her jaw dropped at the scene inside the barn. Somewhere in the number of thirty or forty naked women were in different restraints inside. She gasp watching that over half of them had their breasts hooked to different types of milking machines. Taking a longer look, she realized that almost all the women were in different stages of pregnancy.
She ducked back as she breathed deep to try and calm her nerves. These farmers had turned the free women into nothing more than cattle. They were using them to produce milk and breed. Amanda heard voices inside the barn.
"Jon, spend some time with Sow 37 today. She's ripe and ready for another session with a stud." A deep voice said.
"Sure thing boss. I can't think of a better way to spend the morning than slamming my hips into 37's ripe round ass." Jon could be heard replying.
Amanda heard a different voice break up the conversation. "Boss, Who's silver Prius is that sitting in the driveway? We expecting a delivery or sending out a shipment?"
"No." he said sternly. "I'll look into it."
"Shit..." Amanda muttered under her breath. She sprinted as fast as she could to her car and made it a few feet from the hood when she heard a big booming voice behind her.
"Can I help you miss?" The farmer said surprisingly close behind her.
Amanda had to think quickly. She hadn't exactly planned to run into this situation and spun around to face the man.
"Oh Hi!" She said with her usual perky personality. "I thought no one was home. So glad I caught you." She extended a hand. "My name is Amanda James and I work for the Central Tribune. I'm writing a story on the local agriculture and its impact on our quickly growing city."
The man met her with a big smile of his own. "Nice to meet you ma'am. I'm Bob Thomas owner and operator of Thomas Dairy Farms. We provide the city with some of the finest milk products this side of Texas."
She half expected for him to assault and grab her and his response had taken her slightly off balance. "Would you let me interview you for my story?" She asked "Let me get my notes, pen and phone so I don't miss any thing."
He further surprised the beautiful dark haired reporter by nodding his approval. Amanda felt much safer knowing she had her phone with her and she grabbed everything from the car and started the interview.
"Mr. Thomas, what kind of products does your dairy produce?" She asked.
He smiled and opened his hand gesturing towards the barn. "Allow me to show you, but let me have a disclaimer." He paused. "We don't deal with the typical cattle and products. Our products are more... Specialized."
The pair made their way to the barn and Mr.. Thomas opened the door ushering Amanda inside. Amanda now saw close up what she had spied through the window. She froze in her tracks being so close to the slave women and hearing the humming of the machines that milked their breasts.
Mr. Thomas noticed her paused and broke the awkward silence. "No fear my dear. Nothing will happen to you here as long as you simply observe and record. We run the largest human milking dairy in the county."
His words didn't ease Amanda's fears and her vision caught the farmhand on the far end of the room breeding Sow 37 like he'd been instructed to do earlier. She felt a strong hand on her arm.
